The mobile phone has become one of the essential attributes of a modern person's life. Manufacturing companies offer hundreds of different models, so choosing a new phone becomes quite a daunting task.
Instructions
Step 1
Before buying a phone, you should have a good understanding of why you need it. If only in order to make calls and exchange SMS-messages, then the simplest and most inexpensive budget model will be enough. If the phone is needed for other purposes as well - for example, to listen to music, access the Internet, read e-books, etc., a more complex and expensive model is needed. Remember that there is no need to pay for features that you will never use.
Step 2
Determine how much you are willing to spend on a new phone. This will help you reduce the number of models to be evaluated for performance. It is also necessary to immediately determine the manufacturer of the cell phone, most often users prefer to buy the model of the company whose products they have already used. In this case, a lot will be familiar in the new phone, you will not have to waste time studying unusual menus, navigation, etc.
Step 3
The most convenient phones today are touchscreen phones, which provide ease of navigation and selection of the necessary functions. Such screens are capacitive and resistive. In the first case, a light touch is enough, in the second you have to press the screen. It is better to choose a model with a capacitive screen, it is more reliable and convenient.
Step 4
When choosing a phone, pay attention to the screen size and resolution. A higher resolution screen provides a clearer picture. The most commonly used resolutions are: 240 × 320, 320 × 480, 480 × 800, there are also higher ones - 960 × 640 and 1280 × 720. It is better to purchase a phone with a resolution of at least 320x480.
Step 5
Pay attention to the amount of memory available to the user. In good phones, its size is calculated in gigabytes, in cheap phones, only a few hundred megabytes are allocated for personal files. Also, the phone must have a slot for a microSD memory card. Such cards have a capacity of up to 32 GB, which allows them to store an impressive amount of information.
Step 6
The presence of two slots for SIM-cards is very useful. By purchasing this model, you will be able to use the services of two mobile operators with only one phone.
Step 7
Almost every modern phone is equipped with a camera. The higher the resolution of its matrix, the better the photos will be. A camera with a resolution of 2-3 megapixels is considered outdated, modern models have a resolution of 5-8 megapixels.
Step 8
Pay attention to the battery - the more its capacity, the longer the phone will not need to be recharged. On average, the battery of a good phone has a capacity of 1200-1500 mAh, the best models have 2500 mAh.
Step 9
As a rule, modern phone models support all common communication standards, they can work in 3G and 4G networks, which provides high-speed Internet access. Thanks to the competition from manufacturers, almost every phone released today has good performance. Nevertheless, taking into account the recommendations given, you can choose a really high-quality and reliable model.
